America owes talk host Rush Limbaugh a debt of gratitude, Libertarians say

LP Press Release ^ | October 16, 2003 | Libertarian Party Press

[Dane]

Being that Jim Robinson calls the LP "our good friends" and hosts a section of FR for small-l libertarians, do you consider him to follow the "Clinton model"?

Uh, Jeff, when you mention Jim's name you could at least have the courtesy to "ping" Jim, which you did not in your reply #217. Also why did you feel so compelled to drag Jim into the arguement. He did not ask to be dragged into the arguement. If he is PO'ed at me, he would tell me himself.

JMO Jeff, but Jim is an adult and doesn't need Nanny Jeff(jmc813) to do his talking for him.

[Petronski]

I could care less about drug use...

Yet you've selected a party which has placed dope policy at its vanguard.

[Dane]

You're just pissed because Libertarians shot a horse in your office.

Actually to be accurate the horse was never "shot". It dies of a heart attack, when Flounder shoots the gun(loaded with blanks) into the air.

Get your Animal House movie scenes correct, would ya.

[Petronski]

And by the way, you mean "I couldn't care less..." as in "I don't care at all..." The way you said it, you're saying that you do care, "you could care less."

[noprob]

Yet you've selected a party which has placed dope policy at its vanguard.

No they don't, unfortunately that is the only issue that will get the press. Libertarians want true freedom for everyone. Libertarians don't attempt to tell a person what he can or can't do, so long as it doesn't hurt anyone.

[jmc813]

Also why did you feel so compelled to drag Jim into the arguement.

To show any lurkers that y'alls argument that anti-WOD are liberal is bunk. No offense, but I feel a hell of a lot more comfortable siding with Jim on this than I would with you guys.

[jmc813]

Actually to be accurate the horse was never "shot". It dies of a heart attack, when Flounder shoots the gun(loaded with blanks) into the air.

Crap, you're right. Considering I've seen AH about 50 times, I should have gotten that right. But you've gotta admit that Flounder was a liberdopian. Remember that one scene with the professor? "Can I buy some of that stuff from you?"

Sincerely, Nanny Jeff

Well if you are to take on it yourself to speak for Jim, why are you so afraid to ping Jim(which you didn't do again in your reply #226)?

Oh BTW, you do know that Jim has stated that he is against the total legalization of drugs?

Jim, I am sincerely sorry you got dragged into this, but Jeff(jmc8130) is the one who is hiding behind you and that started with jmc813's reply #217.

I can speak for myself, it seems that jmc813 can't.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

W's apparently had some substance abuse problems. And Jeb's daughter. Rush's problems may result in correcting some of the disinformation about substance abuse presented in some conservative circles. The "drug war" tends to hype the criminal underworld side of substance abuse and addiction. A frank medical appraisal of addiction problems and vulnerabilities could yield some good. Rush has an opportunity now to share with America what he has learned on this subject.

If he chooses, he can explain why he thinks marijuana is more dangerous than the pain killers he was using. Perhaps William F. Buckley, Jr. can shed some illumination on the subject as well. He has represented a more reasonable approach on the subject in the past.

I'll throw one in to stir things up.

Should Rush have access to medical marijuana for pain relief?

[lugsoul]

Jeez, what a crybaby.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Prescription Pot for Rush?

[Dane]

Jeez, what a crybaby

JMO, but the crybaby is the one who can't speak for himself(jmc813) and hides behind others.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Or to paraphrase a famous presidential debate question...

"If Kitty Dukakis were raped and infected with AIDS, should voters be able to decide whether she should get medical marijuana ?"

What does El Rushbo say to this?

[noprob]

And by the way, you mean "I couldn't care less..." as in "I don't care at all..." The way you said it, you're saying that you do care, "you could care less."

Thanks for clearing that up... I couldn't care less, your right!!

[jmc813]

Well if you are to take on it yourself to speak for Jim, why are you so afraid to ping Jim(which you didn't do again in your reply #226)?

Because he's a busy guy who has made clear in the past that he doesn't like to get dragged into arguments to referee.

Oh BTW, you do know that Jim has stated that he is against the total legalization of drugs?

So am I. I agree with him that we should end the Federal WOD and let the states decide their own drug laws. While reasonable people would consider this a conservative position, there are many here that consider it a liberal/loserdopian position to dare criticize Czar Walters.

[jmc813]

JMO, but the crybaby is the one who can't speak for himself(jmc813) and hides behind others.

I can speak for myself. Ask me my position on anything.

[Dane]

Because he's a busy guy who has made clear in the past that he doesn't like to get dragged into arguments to referee.

Then why did you jmc813, drag Jim into the arguement(jmc813 reply #217 of this thread) in the first place.

Whew dude, JMO, drop the Clintonian language, it only digs you a deeper hole.

[Dane]

I can speak for myself. Ask me my position on anything

Uh dude your reply #217 of this thread betrays your above italicized passage.

[lugsoul]

I'm sure that is your MO. IMHO, it is the one who runs to others to tattle.

[jmc813]

Then why did you jmc813, drag Jim into the arguement(jmc813 reply #217 of this thread) in the first place.

To show people that yes, you can be a strong conservative and think the Federal Drug War stinks. I'm just an anonymous schmuck on a web site. Who cares what I think? Jim is well known as running the greatest site on the web. How is quoting someone you respect "dragging them into" something?
